I'm not on anybody's case because I don't get that it's a joke.

I'm on peoples' case because this particular *KIND* of joke keeps some of the best people away. These are people I'm friends with, and whom I would like to see here. A couple of them are even among the sharpest programmers I know, and if they got enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies they'd be an asset in terms of possible contributions.

But, if they come on here and among the first things they see is a thread that starts off like this one? Nope, bye. You'll never hear from them even once, and they'll never be here again.

So yes, I'm upset. Every time I'm about to mention this place to someone who otherwise might like it, these clowns start another thread with one of these big steaming turds.

Things like this make me go I must really be the only person that leaves the house and has social connections. First off what did we say that was so bad? I don't see one sexist comment. And if you said cause we were giving the blonde chick in the video a hard time, that is her job is stand there and look good. So by her accepting that job she knows what the deal is.

Every single joke about women in the context of "belonging here" is a sexist joke. Women hear this shit on a daily basis, which makes me think that YOU don't have a social life as you don't seem to have any deep connections with women so they could explain these things to you.

Make this place welcoming for women, not a place where they have to listen to stupid jokes about women. Even I as a man have left so many tech scenes because the stupidity is too overwhelming and everybody - even 20+ year olds - are acting like annoying little kids. But maybe all tech people are like that.

Just be a real man and stop making jokes about women. They need to be included right now.

Also I hung out with some of the brightest people in the world, and let me tell you, they act just like you and me. They say the same things, they tell the same jokes. So I would say get over being the white knight police and move on. Also their is other forums for people to go to talk on, even IRC << which I consider to be even worst than this forum in the caliber of content.

So you'd jump off a cliff if they did. Cool.
